Difficulty Rank:

3/5

When to Use:

Featured Units:

When you are attacking an opponents base.

[What to do]

[Tips for Pulling This Off]

- Carefully maneuver your Void Rays around your opponents base to attack Gas Mines, Construction Facilities or Tech facilities while avoiding static defenses.- Leverage the Void Rays' range over ledges to minimize the amount of enemy troops that can attack you (if they can even see you).- If your Void Rays are charged you can even get brazen and take down a few enemy static defense structures.

Good vs. These Races / Strategies:

Bad vs. These Races / Strategies:

This is great when your opponent has only a couple of towers and you can attack structures or units while avoiding the towers.

This is bad if your opponent has a lot of towers or a significant anti-air army.

What to do in Success:

What to do in Failure:

- Continue to harass and push in on your opponent. Focusing down the Command Center is the end goal.- Look to see what army is remaining, can you attack with your ground army (if you have one).

- Get your Void Rays out before they die.- Look to defend your base as if you went for Void Rays you may have a smaller army.
